[Cobra64]

It seems to me that most of New England is totally F'd up. Is there a disease going on in snow country?

[Raffus]

When is that dweeb up for re-election? If memory serves, he was elected the year I left '01 (?)

[armymarinemom]

She beats the crap outa him

Oh I have to ping Dad to your comment. When I met the man I walked off and told my husband "I think I can take him, what a wuss!". He has the handshake of a limp dishrage, weak looking eyes that can't hold a gaze. He came across as a looser that only knows power with a pen in hand.

Its called liberalism. It destroys grey matter while leaving the rest of the host intact. All response is limited to knee-jerk reaction to external stimuli.

[pipecorp]

I hope you bathed afterwards.

Leave the people alone. It's none of your business, Maine.

This really has nothing to do with smoking. It has everything to do with agendas and that is to enslave the American people.

"The commercial bars are dying," Mills said. "It's dreadfully unfair."

CAN THE BAN..........don't make it more forbidding for business.........

What is it with these jagoffs??????????

Something in the water down state, that's for sure.

I'm not sure.  Gov King was before him.  I think you are right.  Should be in 06 then.  Right?

Actually, I didn't believe he was married.  I always thought of him as gay.

Excuse me? hehe! I think I missed something?

That's for sure! Pity that it's running rampant in New England, though.

Like what was said:

Ya gotta love the quote from the Senator.  Might be nice to ask him where all the nonsmokers are that the Antis swore would improve business. Gee... think they could have been LYING???

Isn't it funny that you need a picture ID as proof of age to buy tobacco, but that's too great a requirement to require in order to vote according to the dims.

I have actually been "carded" more in the past 10 years buying tobacco than alcohol - and I'm going to be 45.

Showing ID for voting is just natural for me - I still have no understanding of anyone's problem with that...of course I also do not have any understanding of the dims mentality to begin with.

[Madame Dufarge]

I knew it was only a matter of time before these morons "leveled the playing field."

Is there anyone left in this state that doesn't work for the state?

This place has become a Kafka-esque nightmare.

[Raffus]

I do believe the Gov in Maine is a four-year term. Shouldn't he be up this year? Since I was taking 13 classes the year I learned we were moving, I was more than a little scattered. I usually follow politics closely. I think it would be this year.

A very quick check of the State of Maine's homepage it's not apparent. Need more time.

[Gabz]

Funny, I thought his wife ran the show. Remember his "fall" and the broken ribs? Yeah right. She beats the crap outa him.

Having first hand experience with spousal abuse - I have to say I find that amusing.........my ex wouldn't, considering it took a couple of cracked ribs and some other unmentionable damage to get him to understand...

Yes, and what does that idiot Peter Mills mean by this?  Doesn't this idiot know that he is responsible for the closures?!

It would serve them all right, all the states doing this, if we all quit, (even if it's "pseudo" quit) and let them go insane when the money just disappears!! Hey, maybe they'll go after some REAL health threats!! Instead on encouraging and endorsing them.
